Hey sounds good! I do need a trailer.. can you snap a pic and e-mail it to me? Also.. I replaced the starter with a new one.. it fires right up now! As soon as you turn the key there is maybe a half second of starting before the engine kicks in. Big improvement as I found it kind of hard to start before.
Hybrid,
Been trying to contact Bob. Last email I got from him was back in March. Sent him a few emails, but no response. Have you been in touch with him recently? I need some track guides; in his last email, he said he was having new ones made.
Thanks,
Joe

The PPT is in excellent shape and I've been in contact with Bob Cantin. I've asked a few technical questions and he informs me that he has two very large filing cabinets filled with engineering schematics and drawing of the PPT. I asked for the owner's manual and he sent me the following 7 pages out of the book. I think they are an excellent reference so I am posting them here. If anyone else has ANY documentation on these awesome crafts, please let me know!
My PPT came with a Kohler 321 14hp powerplant. I've consulted with Bob and he told me that later in '75 they replaced that with a 16hp Kohler 341 and eventually went with an Onan Twin. If anyone knows where I can find a 341 for sale or an Onan let me know. He admits that the 14hp is underpowered. I had planned on rebuilding it but now think it may be a waste to put any money in to a 14hp. He said that the 341 would be a direct bolt in, and didn't go in to what modifications I would have to make to put an Onan in. I am trying not to be a pest, so am limiting myself on the e-mails I send to him!
Anyway.. here are the owner's manual pages that he sent me. They contain detailed procedures in adjusting the PPT for optimal performance.
I'll take some pictures and a video of the PPT as soon as possible!
